Workcamps

Every summer, we host workcamps from across the United States. These workcamps are traditionally composed of Presbyterian youth groups (though we host adult groups as well). They give up a week of their time to serve those in need here in Greenbrier County, making home repairs large and small--roofing, ramps, cleaning, painting, organizing, demolition, guttering, weatherproofing, etc. (We only work on homes which are owned by the residents, and our referrals come from personal relationships as well as local agencies.) Local agency partners include Wellspring of Greenbrier, the Family Refuge Center, the Lewisburg Children's Shelter, Open Doors, Greenbrier Animal Shelter, Organ Cave Community Center, Energy Express, Oakhurst Outreach, Child Youth & Advocacy Center, and many more. For example, last summer one group created a video, logo, and website for a local children's organization! As you can see, our projects are not limited to construction and home repairs. We take seriously the call to care for all of God's creation. We offer reforestation projects, the harvesting of produce for local food pantries, and service to the local Animal Shelter.

We generally accept groups in June, July, & August. However, we also accept groups during the fall and spring as needed or during periods of natural disaster. During the summer, groups are encouraged to take one "fun" day to enjoy wild and wonderful West Virginia by kayaking, hiking, or whitewater rafting. We will gladly assist you in making these arrangements. Recreational opportunities include Ace Adventure Park, Organ Cave, Ronceverte Island Park (walking distance from church), The Greenbrier Resort (watch New Orleans Saints training camp from late July to August), & more.

Groups stay at the church, which is newly renovated to include four showers, new bathrooms, a dishwasher, and a washer/dryer. We also have a full kitchen including two refrigerators, two stoves, microwaves, dishwasher, utensils, etc. While groups stay here, they have full and sole use of the kitchen facilities.

We hope you will join us for a summer of service!
